This article presents a range of mobile products that were displayed at the DemoMobile exhibition in La Jolla, California in 2004. Though the products on offer were mostly mobile-oriented, they varied from new mobile handsets to mobile services to infrastructure components. Most looked to have a serious business case behind them, and were even fun. One company offering a new wrinkle is OnAir Entertainment, whose OnAir Media Servers let users watch TV via Wi-Fi. The wrinkle, instead of connecting to streaming-service web sites like abc.com, it uses a local satellite receiver, then compress and re-send the signal. Satellite receivers are $50-100 per channel, instead of the $4-500 per month for high-speed bandwidth, and this strategy is much less susceptible to Internet service glitches.
